"For the volcanic island of Rangitoto in New Zealand,
potassium-argon dated the lava flows as 145,000 to
465,000 years old, but the journal of the Geochemical
Society noted that 'the radiocarbon, geological and botanical
evidence unequivocally shows that it was active
and was probably built during the last 1000 years.' In
fact, wood buried underneath its lava has been carbondated
as less than 350 years old [*Ian McDougall, *H.A.
Polach, and *J.J. Stipp, 'Excess Radiogenic Argon in
Young Subaerial Basalts from Auckland Volcanic Field,
New Zealand,' Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, December
1969, pp. 1485, 1499].
